At the tender age of 19, Harry Hurst was track photographer for the Sebring 12-Hour race in Florida. Hurst also photographed races at Daytona and Road Atlanta during, what many think, were the “glory days of racing.” Hurst has published two books on the Sebring 12-Hour endurance race. In 2007, he helped Dr. Fred Simeone launch the Simeone Foundation Automotive Museum, twice selected as the best automotive museum in the world, and still assists the museum with communications and special events. Most recently, Hurst created the Glory Days of Racing Facebook group, and asked his audience to select the top racing movies of all time.
